Curated, not stocked.
Marine collagen earns its place here because it is specific. Type I collagen is the dominant structural protein in skin and tendons, and the hydrolysed peptide format is well-studied for bioavailability. Hunter & Gather use a wild-caught marine source, which aligns with the ingredient standards we apply across our range. For patients asking about skin or joint support after a blood panel flags recovery concerns, this is a straightforward, low-risk addition to an existing protocol.
About this product
Marine Collagen Peptides Protein Powder
Hunter & Gather Marine Collagen Peptides Protein Powder is a hydrolysed marine collagen supplement derived from wild-caught fish. Hydrolysed collagen peptides are broken down into shorter amino acid chains, which means they are absorbed more readily than intact collagen protein. Marine collagen is predominantly Type I collagen — the form most concentrated in skin, tendons, ligaments, and bone — making it a more targeted choice than bovine blends if skin structure or joint connective tissue is the primary goal.
This suits people who want to support skin elasticity and joint comfort as part of a consistent daily routine, as well as those who prefer a marine source over bovine for dietary or personal reasons. It fits neatly into an existing routine: the powder is unflavoured enough to blend into coffee, smoothies, or warm water without competing with other ingredients.
Collagen synthesis declines with age and is further suppressed during periods of high physical stress, which is why this product sits within our performance pillar as well as our skin and joint categories. Runners, cyclists, and anyone in heavy training blocks may find it useful alongside adequate vitamin C intake, which is required for the body to convert collagen precursors into usable collagen fibres. Hunter & Gather source their collagen from wild-caught marine fish, a detail that matters both for quality perception and for those avoiding farmed or land-animal sources.

How to use
Mix 1 to 2 scoops daily into water, coffee, or a smoothie, hot or cold. Taking it alongside a source of vitamin C — such as citrus juice or a dedicated supplement — is generally advised, as vitamin C is a required co-factor in the body's collagen synthesis pathway. Follow the dosage guidance on the packaging for confirmation of serving size.

Common questions
Frequently asked
How does marine collagen differ from bovine collagen?
Marine collagen is predominantly Type I collagen, which is the main structural collagen in skin, tendons, and bone. Bovine collagen contains both Type I and Type III. If skin structure or tendon support is your primary goal, marine is the more targeted source. It is also the preferred option for those avoiding land-animal products.
Do I need to take vitamin C alongside this?
Vitamin C is a necessary co-factor for the enzyme that stabilises newly formed collagen fibres. While collagen peptides can be absorbed without it, ensuring adequate vitamin C intake — whether through diet or a supplement — is broadly recommended to support the conversion process.
How long before I notice a difference?
Collagen turnover is slow. Most studies in the category use supplementation periods of 8 to 12 weeks before assessing outcomes related to skin elasticity or joint comfort. Consistency matters more than timing within a single day.
Is this suitable for pescatarians?
Yes. The collagen is derived from wild-caught fish, so it is appropriate for pescatarians. It is not suitable for vegans or those with a fish allergy.
Can I take this if I am already using a whey or plant protein powder?
Yes. Collagen peptides have a different amino acid profile to whey or plant proteins — notably high in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — so they serve a complementary rather than overlapping function. Taking both is common among people with joint or skin goals alongside muscle-building targets.
